2 years older hahaha, grasp at the straws hahaha

Indeed, 18 months of development for a teenager is now suddenly irrelevant.

I have no straws to grasp at, I stated objectively correct information and your pal chose to ignore this and incorrectly label it "wrong". You backed him.

Now you're too embarrassed to respond to a basic question.

Imagine spending your Saturday night picking a fight on the internet with a "Neanderthal" and getting embarrassed.

What a pitiful sight.

You're "hanging out a park with friends" mid day in Tokyo and instead of actually enjoying the outdoors, have your face buried in your phone, are picking fights(and losing) online with "Neanderthals"?

Wow that's even more sad.

3 game winning OT goals now.

TLDR


You have an explanation for everything little boy.

Points are points. Michkov turned the worst PP in the league 3 years straight into a formidable group. You're using 5v5 to fit an agenda because his ESP are higher than his PPP.

It's fine though, tell yourself whatever you want, 3rd place is still great in this group

The real poll should be Celebrini vs Fantilli.
Yes, he excels in 3 vs 3 just like he does on the PP and 4 vs 4.

And you don’t even have an explanation smartass. Just your deluded interpretations. If points are just points, Michkov wouldn’t get criticism for his lack of 5 vs 5 success. Those numbers are important for playoff success when whistles are put away and 3 vs 3 doesn’t exist.

I don’t need to tell myself anything. Even another a Hawks fan had to tell you that Toews was more impactful than Kane on those cup winning Hawks teams.

Screeching over Celebrini’s performance on his phone is apparently how he enjoys the outdoors.

Great question.. I took Bedard as I just think he'll be dynamite once he figures it out. The other 2 are amazing too.

"If I use laugh emotions and project by accusing others of being mad that makes it seem like I'm not the overly emotional one seething"

Good grief, learn to take an L with dignity.

Go enjoy the park and calm yourself down, unbelievable.

They’re not putrid

Bedard’s last year were putrid

Some relative numbers aren’t great but it’s also one of those things where it’s tough to get a proper read on a poor team and even if you’re doing things well, others guys might not be and the variance in small numbers doesn’t always account for that.

Micro stats like puck battles are also one of those things where the overall defensive game might not be there yet but they show that the building blocks are there for it. Matthews was pretty similar as a rookie where you could tell he was going to be a strong defensive player but the underlying numbers didn’t quite back it up until a few years later. I’d argue Celebrini looks like the most complete rookie forward to enter the league since Matthews.
I mean to be fair the Sharks probably have 3x the talent around Mack than Bedard has ever played with. I was a guy that was extremely critical of posters overrated Bedard before he came into the league but now I’m defending him because he’s getting underrated in this thread.

Anyone that knows puck knows it’s Bedard >> Celebrini, you just have weirdos in here begging to be validated.

I'm fine. Just waiting for you to make a point like an adult.
Your posts suggest the opposite, whatever helps you sleep at night.

With all due respect, go try to convince another internet stranger how great your life is & how happy you are, I don't care.

Nobody is looking to be validated. I'm not sure that has anything to do with the poll question or how this forum works. If you want validation, there are better outlets.

I'll be in Tokyo in a few weeks for お正月 if you want to grab a beer and tell me about the time Celebrini peed in your cereal or whatever it is that's made you have such a strong vendetta against him on this website.

For what it's worth, I personally think Michkov is a special talent who's looking like he might end up the best European winger since Ovechkin/Kucherov. Don't know why these poll threads always shift from giving good players their flowers into trying to tear down the other option.

I’d be down, I can show you around to some cool spots, why not. He didn’t pee in my cereal I’m a realist… and actually like Celebrini, some people off the rails over his 3 game heater though. I said not one word about him when Michkov clowned him head to head.
